We will be teaching our Transformative Research PhD course again on 20 April to 1 May. After four really succesful episodes, I think I can safely say that this course is a unique experience.

Enjoying a beautiful and quiet morning on my way to Copenhagen to present the #IPBES #TransformativeChange assessment
I will discuss how transformative change will require going beyond #biodiversity, #conservation, policy & research as usual

And finally, the @ipbes.bsky.social #TransformativeChange assessment has been approved! Happy and proud of what we have achieved. Hope that this will change the narrative of #Biodiversity #Conservation towards #justice and addressing the political-economic root causes of nature’s decline

Wat een eer om geinterviewd te worden door mijn favoriete radioprogramma Vroege Vogels over de het internationale #IPBES rapport over Transformatieve Verandering dat straks wordt goedgekeurd in Windhoek Namibia. Het interview is hier terug te luisteren: lnkd.in/eE5TEiUc (tijdsaanduiding hieronder)

Extremely chuffed to be on my favourite Dutch radioshow Vroege Vogels about the #TransformativeChange assessment of #IPBES that will hopefully be adopted later today. You can listen to the interview here: www.bnnvara.nl/vroegevogels... (exact time included in the picture)

I am at #IPBES11 in Windhoek, Namibia.This is my 9th plenary and I am attending as Lead Author of the #TransformativeChange Assessment. A key focus will be to find solutions that address the underlying causes of #biodiversity loss and have synergetic positive impacts on other social and env. issues

In this new article, Casey Lynch and I draw attention to the role of science as ‘technology of singularization’. We use the example of forest carbon and argue that this contributes to depolitization and fails to address the root causes of nature’s destruction.

heartwarming to see so many people attend our PostGrowth cities conference and explore how research and social movements can collaborate. Transdisciplinary research has untapped potential to catalyze transformation, but this requires researchers investing time to find out how they can contribute
